From Desirae Colvin, Chief of Staff and Zeco Krcic, Assistant Vice President for Facilities, Planning and Operations:

As you are no doubt aware, New York City’s air quality is currently poor as a result from smoke wafting south from hundreds of wildfires in Quebec. Children, the elderly, and people with heart or breathing issues may be particularly affected.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an air quality health advisory for today, Wednesday, June 7. New York State and City guidance can be found here:
